Indochine Hotel Hoi An, Hoi An, Vietnam

A hotel that looks like it is a throwback to the French colonial period, that’s what the Indochine Hotel in Hoi An, Vietnam, seems to be. But it isn’t old-fashioned at all, with its modern amenities and facilities, plus the fact that it is one of the newest hotels in Hoi An. Just four years old, it is nestled amid attractive and popular tourist attractions such as the historic town and fishing villages and lies close to the river and the beach.

Fifty-three of the hotel’s 62 rooms afford a view of the Thu Bon River. All rooms, namely the Deluxe Garden View rooms, the Deluxe River View rooms, and the Suite River View rooms include government tax, service charge, and breakfast.  They are equipped with air conditioners, satellite television, writing desks, mini-bar, and private bath. The upscale Suite River View rooms include a desktop computer and ADSL Internet access, as well as complimentary kimonos.

Guests are welcomed with a free drink on arrival. Other free services Indochine Hotel offers are shuttle service to town and bicycle use.

Food service is no problem since the hotel has three restaurants on the premises. The Indochine restaurant is on the first floor; the Indochine Riverside restaurant sits by the riverbank; and the Panorama Bar & Restaurant sits on the top floor.

Some of the other hotel facilities are the meeting and conference rooms, barber shop and beauty salon, fitness center, and souvenir shop. Services include ticket booing, laundry and dry cleaning, currency exchange, fax/photocopying, tour arrangements, and airport/bus/train transfers.
